Stay for the Story

When the Carlson family started the inn in 1978 they never would have guessed that 45 years later it would have become the beloved "home away from home" for multiple generations of returning guests.

Guest Reviews

We had our welcome dinner at the restaurant at The West Mountain Inn and it was a hit! After emailing with Amie a bit, we booked their four course dinner in the restaurant for our welcome event. We were drawn to the delicious sounding menu and the cozy photos online. We were looking for a venue we did not have to bring things in to make it look good,...See More

Our family has been going to the West Mountain Inn for many years. It is a wonderful place for a family reunion. The staff is warm and welcoming. The rooms are lovely and cozy, each one different. I believe we have stayed in them all over the years. The stay includes a delicious breakfast and the inn serves an amazing dinner with an ever changing menu which includes locally...See More

Our nursing school class, 21 of us, gathered at the Inn for our 50 yr class reunion. It was a perfect place for a casual get together where we could relax and enjoy the pleasures of a country inn with wonderful views, excellent food and enjoy friends we have not seen in years. The rooms are large and comfortable with any needed comforts. Our private bathrooms were all clean...See More

We feel so lucky to have found the West Mountain Inn for our wedding. We first visited about a year before our wedding and immediately felt like it would be the perfect place for our special day. We were greeted by the resident golden retrievers, who followed us on our tour. If you’re a dog lover, you’ll be very happy with this venue! But really, it was Amie, Mary Beth and the rest of the staff who sold us. We immediately felt like they cared about making your day as perfect as possible for us, which was very welcome after touring other venues which felt like they wanted to squeeze every penny from us. After we decided on the venue, Amie was so willing to work with people like us who wanted to plan every detail possible. Amie answered all of my questions and sent additional information like floor plans so I could plan who was assigned to each room as soon as possible. Her communication over email was so incredible helpful! We absolutely loved that we could have so many guests staying at the inn and knew that would be perfect for our winter wedding. Next came our tasting, which was such a fun event. There are two tastings a year, both in March (though I think you could have a private tasting if you need). We loved being able to stay at the inn for a night and meet all of the other couples getting married here within the year. As our wedding was in February, we had to wait a long time between the tasting and trying the food again, and it absolutely didn’t disappoint! Chef Jeff did an amazing job with our welcome party, breakfast and lunch the day of the wedding, the absolutely amazing wedding dinner (and late night snacks), and brunch the next morning! We heard that most couples have a hard time eating during their weddings, but we cleaned our plates! Definitely try the butternut squash ravioli, it is incredible! We had our ceremony in the barn, then moved to the bar in the inn for cocktail hour, then dinner in the dining room, and dancing in the living room. They take out the big pieces of living room furniture and move some chairs to the side for dancing. A lot of my family was skeptical about that, but the inn knows what they’re doing!! The dance floor was plenty big for our party of 60 (and I’m sure it could have accommodate larger groups), and the chairs on the sides were a huge hit! It was incredible to be able to sit down for a minute and still feel like you’re a part of the party. I know a lot of our guests enjoyed that as well. We got ready in the Norman Rockwell suite, which worked out well since we had a small bridal party. We also loved getting to see all the rooms in the inn - every room is thought out so well and has little details that are so fun to find! We thought the inn was what made our wedding weekend so magical and cannot wait to visit again on anniversaries or other special occasions. Thank you so much to the entire team - we are so grateful to you!

My husband and I stay every February for a weekend getaway. The Inn is beautiful, and spotless with incredible views. Our room is spacious, with beautiful hardwood furniture, comfortable canopy bed and fireplace. Staff are very kind and helpful and the homemade breakfast is out of this world. We highly recommend! This is the best Inn in Southern Vermont!
